I'd suggest the rules and sportsmanship test for any coach who is ejected or who picks up more than two Ts in a season. A couple along the way over the course of 20-25 games can perhaps be forgiven as being overly passionate or trying too hard to get the next call. Any more than that and the guy or gal needs to sit and think about the example being set

So "trying too hard to get the next call" is okay sportsmanship, as long as you only do it occasionally? IMHO, working an official to get a call is bad sportsmanship. Period.
